The first part is "Polka Koketka" (Полька Кокетка). Link to lyrics and information: https://music.yandex.ru/album/23887/track/234990 Link to another recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JntHIA6iBo4
The second part is "Karapet" (Карапет), a traditional Ukrainian dance. Link to a video of a modern folk dance ensemble performing a Karapet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0s9qy5beh2c
The third part is "Korobushka" (Коробушка), which could also be called "Korobeiniki"(Коробейники). A version of Korobushka featuring vocals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKwILLzQeA8
The fourth part is "Lezginka" (Лезгинка), which is an up-tempo dance from the Caucasus region (between the Black and Caspian Seas, on the territories of present-day Russia, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan). Link to a Lezginka performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEtSRZG7ESw
The fifth part is "Kohanochka" (Коханочка), a traditional Ukrainian dance. Link to a Kohanochka performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToEY6DOQkC8
The sixth part is "Lifting Polka," perhaps another name for the "Oberek" dance from Poland. Oberek can feature lifts and is fast-paced. Link to a video with excerpts from an Oberek performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOsR7rHcXxo
The seventh part is called "Red Poppy," and refers to the "Russian Sailors' Dance" from "The Red Poppy" (sometimes "The Red Flower"), a 1927 ballet in three acts written by Reinhold Gliere (score) and Mikhail Kurilko (libretto). "The Red Poppy"'s revolutionary themes made it a staple in Soviet ballet theaters. For more information see: http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20170628-the-ballet-that-caused-an-international-row
